GrainCorp to boost storage capacity

The grain handler GrainCorp says it will be boosting its storage capacity across Victoria's Wimmera-Mallee to better cope with this summer's harvest.

The company says it will be increasing capacity by 670,000 tonnes across 12 sites, including Quambatook, Murrayville, Underbool and Natimuk.

GrainCorp's David Ginns says the company will also put in measures to reduce delays at its receival sites.

"Where possible we will run additional shifts, we'll also [open] sites 24-hours-a-day where we've got an indication from growers that there'll be a demand for that, so our focus is wherever possible on minimising delays but it's always a factor in harvests," he said.
